Title: Improvements in or relating to Stamping, Punching, Shearing or similar Machines.
IPC: B21D28/24
Filed: 1911-10-10
Granted: 1912-10-10
Abstract: 22,288. Pierpont, F. H., and Lanston Monotype Corporation. Oct. 10. Metal-working presses; shcaring; punching.- In punching, shearing, stamping, and like machines in which the tools are operated by a reciprocating head, any of the tools may be thrown out of operation in such a manner that although partaking of the full movement of the head, these tools do not engage the work piece. The invention is described with reference to the removal by shearing of some of the projections on a bar E, Figs. 4 and 6, which is transferred from a receptacle F to a position beneath tools A, A<1>. Each tool is provided with a pin A<9> working in a cam slot A<10> of a block A<3> operated bv hand levers A<4> to move the tools horizontally into or out of operative position. The reciprocating movement of the head B operates a pusher slide C which brings the lowermost bar of a stack F into position under the tools and discharges it after the operation is performed. The slide C is connected by links C<1>, C<2> and a resilient coupling c<1> to an arm A<7> on the reciprocating head. At the beginning of a forward movement of the slide C the ends of the lowermost bar rest in a slot c<8> in the slide, and as the slide is moved the bar is pushed forward over spring-pressed pivoted latches C<12>, along channels C<8>, and over sping-pressed pivoted fingers C<10>. A spring-pressed work-holder G is mounted in the head between the tools and engages the work to force it down on to a bar D which supports the web portion of the bar. After the operation of the tools, the bar is raised by the fingers C<10> and is returned by the slide C, the latches C<12> deflecting the blank which falls as shown in Fig. 4 along an inclined surface C<14>.

Title: Improvements in Explosives.
Inventor: BEDIER VICTOR LEROY
IPC: C06B29/10
Filed: 1911-11-07
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 24,763. Bedier, V. L. Nov. 7, 1910, [Convention date]. Explosives.-Consists in a mixture of 736 parts of potassium chlorate, 480 parts of a carbohydrate such as commercial cane sugar, 320 parts of commercial hard wheat bolted flour, 2 parts of chrysophanic acid, 1 part of a colouring-agent such as curcuma, 130 parts of alcohol, and 120 parts of water, as follows. The crysophanic acid, curcuma, and alcohol are thoroughly mixed, then allowed to stand for four hours and filtered; the solution contains curcumin, the colouring-principle of curcuma. The sugar is dissolved in water, and boiled. The curcumin solution is added to the sugar solution while the latter is still hot, and this combined solution is added to the flour and potassium chlorate which have previously been mixed together dry. When a proper consistency is reached, the mass is passed through one or more screens made of galvanized iron wire and containing from 4 to 20 meshes to the inch, so that various grades of granulations may be obtained to suit various purposes.

Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 687. Derriman, W. H., [Automatic Electric Co.]. Jan. 9. Hiring telephones.-The response of the called subscriber brings about the reversal of the current supplied to the calling line, so that a polarized relay at the calling sub-station shortcircuits the telephone instruments, the circuits being restored to their normal condition by the insertion of one or more coins. The telephone circuits are controlled by the springs.. 4, 5, 6, the spring 4 serving as a support for a swinging arm 7, which carries a lug 13 cooperating with an extension 12 of the armature 11 of a polarized magnet 9, 10. When a subscriber calls, the extension 12 slides over the lug 13 without shifting the springs 4, 5, 6, but when the called subscriber replies the reversal of the line current causes the extension 12 to move the lug 13 and arm 7 to the left, thereby short-circuiting the microphone &c. Coin action, weight and multiple-coin.-In the device shown in Fig. 5, the arm 7 is tripped by the insertion of a single coin, thus rendering the instruments operative. In the device shown in Fig. 3, two coins must be inserted to trip the arm 7, which when moved to the left is brought into the path of the teeth of a ratchetwheel 17. A second ratchet-wheel 18, having double the number of teeth, is secured to the ratchet-wheel 17, and is moved forwards a step by a pawl 20 each time a trigger 16 is oscillated by the insertion of a coin in the shoot 3.

Abstract: 23,283. Suida, G. Oct. 11, 1911, [Convention date]. Starting and stopping, automatic.-In an hydraulic air-compressor comprising two chambers to which water is supplied through two injectors alternately, entraining air, the supply of water to the injectors is controlled bv a valve operated by means of plungers in cylinders to which the compressed air is admitted by valves operated by floats in the chambers. When the apparatus is in the position shown, water under pressure is passing through a pipe E, valve D, and injector J2 to the chamber II, entraining air through the injector and forcing it through a non-return valve n2, and pipe r to a holder K. At the same time a valve D<1> is in such a position as to open the chamber I to a drain-pipe F. When the chamber II is full, a valve d2 is opened by a float s., and lever b2 and admits compressed air to a cylinder f<2> containing a plunger g2, which operates the valve D, so as to cut off the water supply from the injector J2 and admits it to an injector J, which leads to the chamber I. At the same time the chamber I is cut off from the drain-pipe F and the chamber II opened to it. The air in the cylinder f<2> escapes to the chamber II through a non-return valve. Non-return valves v1, v2 prevent water from escaping through the injectors,
